>>>Howdy Folks, >>> >>>It's now official: I'm goining the 15th Texas for the >>>Mansfield/Pleasant Hill march. Should be fun. >>> >>>-maynard >> >> >>Greetings, >> >>While NOT wanting to discourage any Fed reenactors >>from going CSA with Brother Maynard, I will say that >>Cal Kinzer is considering raising a Fed company for >>this event. >> >>Cal has a good relationship with Jack King, and plans >>to possibly field a company within Jack's galvanized >>Fed battalion. The TX Bgde did fed a couple years >>back, and looked to have a bully time. They did a >>short 4-5 mile march into the site on Sat AM, >>participated in the battles, slept on arms on the >>picket line, drilled prodigiously, and I think even >>did a retreat or parade. >> >>If you are considering this event, and can't come up >>with the CSA gear, or do not wish to do the 17 mile >>march, this will be a worthwhile alternative. Cal's >>boys in the 55th Illinois are first rate, and all of >>us who've served under him know he's a serious player. >>Most of us Feds will probably go with him at Pickett's >>Mill, and again at Franklin with the AoP. >> >>By the way, I was also VERY tempted to do the CSA side >>of this. It sounds most excellent. I even spoke with >>Doug Cooper about borrowing the gear. But getting the >>very authentic kit together to meet the 15th TX >>standards would've been tough. Besides, as a western >>fed reenactor, I just can't bring myself to do it... >>Yet. ;~) >> >>The Union forever and all that I suppose... >> >>Mike Phineas > >Mike,, > >Jack King and the Texas Brigade will not be doing this >event this year. You are correct though, a few years >ago we went federal and had a great event. Don Smith, >Phil and Danny also fell in with us. > >regards, Stephen
